Nightingale News

Heya Realmwalkers,

We’re starting our emergency maintenance on Nightingale servers.

You may get kicked from the game in the next 15-30 minutes, and will not be able to login or play while servers are down.

We will provide an update when the work is complete.

This maintenance is to mitigate reports of issues with Realm persistance.

As servers will do additional checks for persistence, you may see additional ‘Travel Errors’ after this update. If you receive this error, please try again after a couple of minutes.

If you have lost your Respite Realm’s progress, please fill out this form to request a roll back to your previous Realm state: https://forms.gle/eKbTk3nGFGvnKKRJ6

Our team continues to investigate further fixes, thank you for your patience in the meantime.

Hey folks,

We understand that some players have reported losing their Respite Realms in the last 24 hours.

In an abundance of caution, we have rolled back yesterday's backend server patch and are investigating further. This may mean that issues with falling in The Watch may occur again.

If you lost your Respite Realm as a result of yesterday's patch, to roll your realm back to how it was 24 hours ago, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/eKbTk3nGFGvnKKRJ6

We will update you as soon as we know more.

Greetings Realmwalkers,

As you may have seen from the sprawling 130+ page digital artbook (available for purchase on Steam), the world of Nightingale was brought to life by the team of incredibly talented artists we have here at Inflexion Games. Now that we’re a couple of weeks from launch, the art team has begun to share their work online, so it presented a perfect opportunity to spotlight their amazing artistry.

Our environment team brings a handcrafted approach to creating worlds that feel like a natural and wild environment, as well as one that has been lived in and stewed in a greater canon.

These screenshots capture a small fraction of the immense detail packed into each Realm.

Everything starts at the concept art phase. Nightingale is blessed with a lore and aesthetic with a wide amount of flexibility to explore visual ideas. Here’s some concept art that helped to guide the visual development of Nightingale’s world.

[h2]Chaos Physics Assets[/h2]
Tech art is wholly unique to gaming as it blends interactivity with artistic vision. With the range of assets on display here, it goes to show how additional immersion is added to our tree-cutting system - the finished look making the simple act of chopping them down all the more satisfying.
